v0.7 release

Mar 10, 2009 sage

I’ve tagged a v0.7 release. Probably the biggest change in this release (aside from the usual bug fixes and performance improvements) is the new start/stop and configuration framework. Notably, the entire cluster configuration can be described by a single cluster.conf file that is shared by all nodes (distributed via scp or NFS or whatever) and used for mkfs, startup, and shutdown.

New in v0.7:

smart osd ‘sync’ behavior
osd bug fixes
fast truncate strategy
improved start/stop scripts
new cluster configuration framework
